Juventus and Barcelona, of course, met in the 2015 UEFA Champions League final in Berlin, the Spanish side running out 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Ivan Rakiti? (4), Luis Suárez (68) and Neymar (90+7); Álvaro Morata (55) had brought Juventus level at 1-1.

Juventus's draw with Barcelona means an emotional return to the Camp Nou for Dani Alves, who made 247 appearances for the Catalan giants in eight years before moving to Turin last summer. Asked who he wanted to face on Tuesday he said "anyone but Barcelona".
